Treat Yourself: 70 Classic Snacks You Loved as a Kid

I received this book from the author/publisher for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Have a party coming up? Or is your family from out of town is visiting this weekend and you want to surprise them with some ultimate sweets? Or your husband is taking all the kids out on a camping trip and leaving you at home with peace and quiet and you feel like Treat(ing) Yourself ? Well, regardless of the occasion, Treat Yourself is the perfect treat cookbook!

As the synopsis says, these recipes are all natural, homemade and fairly easy to make. Some of the recipes look identical to the originals while others differ a bit in their appearance, however all of the ones I made (about 8 different recipes so-far) taste just like they are supposed to.

Before every recipe, there's an introductory to the recipe with a brief history about that treat and a few comments from Jennifer. Most recipes have pictures alongside them, but there are a few that do not. The outline of the book makes it easy to navigate through, and there is a little “bubble” that tells you about how long it takes to make that particular treat, and it is actually very accurate.

One thing that you may need to prepare for is that many of the recipes take a while to make. Like the Snickers bars I made took almost a day and half because of the ingredients that needed to be frozen, cooked, drizzled and let to set. But they tasted delicious in the end :-)

If you love baking and love sweets (the two kinda go hand in hand....) I highly recommend this book, as you (and everyone you bake for) will love this book! I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
